The Bihar police have served a formal notice to parties involved in the Achampet cyber fraud investigation, signalling a step forward in the probe.
Bihar police on Monday issued a formal notice to individuals and entities linked to the cyber fraud case that originated in Achampet, a town in Telangana. The notice, part of a broader investigation, demands cooperation and the submission of relevant digital evidence. Authorities said the move is intended to streamline the collection of information and to prevent further illicit online activity.
The cyber fraud, which reportedly involved large sums transferred through online channels, prompted a joint effort between Telangana cyber crime units and Bihar's law enforcement. While the fraud was traced to Achampet, the financial trails extended to accounts in Bihar, necessitating the state's involvement.
Police officials declined to disclose the names of the notice recipients, citing ongoing procedural requirements. They added that non‑compliance could attract legal action under the Information Technology Act. The investigation remains active, with further steps expected as more data is gathered.
